Yes, and I fought for its repeal along with other members of civil society. There was no overwhelming public support. In the only show of overwhelming public support was when funda…

At least I'm trying. You guys don't make my job any easier by shitting on Singapore whenever you get the chance to, without even the least interest in learning the truth about it.

The other opposition parties are not viable because they are (1) terribly organized (2) run by personality cults --> both of these are traits which do not lend well to 'creating a …

Hear, hear.

exactly. thank you for saying that.

I'm troubled by your continued assertion that only your thoughts on Singapore count, more than that of any Singaporeans. And that only you get to make personal attacks on anybody. …

"Corrupt". Care to substantiate that? Singaporean in opposition politics here — desperately wanting to know.

I've come to see that listening to them talk about 'freedom' and about how we don't have any = somewhat the same as my strong beliefs that breakfast should always have curry and no…

I joined because I'm frankly a little amused by some of these comments. More totalitarian: how do you quantify that? I was born and brought up in Singapore and do business in all t…

Seriously? Have you been to any of these countries ?

So we are too corrupt or are we too authoritarian? After all we just jailed a man over pineapple tart corruption. NKF is not the government. That's kind of like saying that TSA mol…

Here in Singapore, you can bitch about it and not be jailed or murdered for it. We bitch about (everything) most of the time. We also have a healthy assumption that we are never go…

Have you seen how the poor 'native Malays', poor 'ethnic Chinese', poor 'ethnic Indians' and 'lower class Western expats' live... side-by-side, in rather bad neighbourhoods (which …

Every other way is up for debate? We have a good education system, and I would not trade our healthcare system for what you're likely used to; as a gay Singaporean, I have no curta…

I'm a Singaporean. I've worked in opposition politics. I'm going to be voting this year. Here are a few thoughts: - your understanding of the Lees in Singapore have no historical c…

This is kind of the equivalent of someone posting something from Breitbart or NYPost and saying "this is real news".

Oh good god. As a Singaporean (who has worked in the opposition politics no less) I am sick and tired of Chee Soon Juan the megalomaniac who can't get basic economics right, being …

Under-reporting of rape and sex crimes is rife all over the world, including in so-called developed societies.

I'm a woman in tech who has only been on the periphery of the Valley (mostly working out of Singapore, Indonesia, Myanmar, etc). The sexism is everywhere. However, the brogrammer c…
